Aa near aa can be discovered, there
are from 150 to 200 who will register.
On the lost registration, 10.4 per
cent of the registrants were 21 years

cut by a numlwr going to tha ship
yards or joining the army.
The registration day is set at June
5th and every person who is now of
sga must register. Ignorance of tha
aw will be no excuse, and the penalty
for failure to register will be the same
as for failure to regiater for the pre
ceding draft.
It is l-elieved that the coming reg
istration will add at least ISO to ine
number in class one in Linn county.
No derision has been made at Wash
ington aa to whether the newly-regis
tered men will be put at the end of
the rlaaa one list, or handled in some
other manner.

set for May 20th, and 45 men are cull
ed from the eounty. Official notices
